Ballet Style: June 2020
Oh, darling, wasn't June simply divine for fashion? We're finally feeling a touch of normalcy after the long, dreary lockdown and, darling, what better way to celebrate than with a fluttering, billowing, ethereal tutu! It's time to release our inner prima ballerina and let our frocks fly, like the swishing tutus in our favourite Swan Lake!
I simply adore how the modern, fashion-forward woman has embraced the tutu this month. Gone are the days of stiff, formal tutus. No, June has been all about tulle embellished with sequins and delicate floral lace, oh, darling, a truly divine combination! We saw these fabulous designs on the red carpets all over the world worn with grace and confidence by the leading ladies. The looks are simply captivating and so incredibly flattering.
There are several key trends that stood out for the month of June:
- Romantic Ballet: This trend embraced flowing tulle in soft shades of pale pink, blush and white, designed to look like clouds. Simply perfect for a summer soirée. We also saw the tulle designed with cascading layers of ruffles, creating a voluminous and theatrical effect. So très chic!
- Bohemian Ballet: For those who love a more relaxed vibe, we saw a gorgeous collection of tulle that has been embellished with earthy floral embroidery and delicate beads, offering a touch of hippie-chic to the ballerina style.
- Modern Ballet: June was all about taking a classic and making it daring. Think dramatic asymmetrical designs, bold colour combos with neon colours mixed with silver or a classic black tutu, designed with daring cuts and sparkly embellishments. Just perfect for the girl who loves to turn heads!
As June draws to a close, I have a feeling that this ethereal, graceful trend will continue throughout the summer, so go forth my dears, embrace your inner ballerina, and let your tutus dance!
